As we announced earlier this week - see HERE- the BBC Proms 2013 is to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who with two special concerts during the summer. Taking place on Saturday July 13 at 7.30pm and on Sunday July 14 at 10am (at the Royal Albert Hall), the concerts have the following details:

Doctor Who returns to the Proms to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the popular BBC series. As well as showcasing Murray
Gold’s music from the past eight years, the concert also journeys back
to the early days of Doctor Who and the groundbreaking work of the BBC
Radiophonic Workshop.

Featuring special guests from the series, big screens and a host of
monsters ready to invade the Royal Albert Hall, this is not the year to
be exterminated!
